Bob Seger

Nine Inch Nails

Liz Phair

U2

Pearl Jam

Sheryl Crow

Led Zeppelin Introduction:

Recent years have been pretty sorry for the music industry. There is no great music coming out these days, and only minimal good music. It's hard to believe that only a few years ago, we were in the midst of one of the greatest music booms ever. But now the music industry has managed to sanitize most of what was good in "alternative" music and left us with nothing to listen to but mediocre sludge. Bring back the good old days!

Bob
Seger Bob Seger is just the best. I have loved his songs for years. It is some of the most personal, moving stuff that I have ever heard. The music is good, but not exceptionally good. It's the lyrics that captivate. I feel his growing pains, his loneliness, and his desire to roam. Nobody has written so many songs that speak to me like his do.

Nine
Inch
Nails Just looking at them, you'd think that Nine Inch Nails would be singing about devil worship or at least about heroin and S&M. But Trent Reznor writes some of the most heart-wrenching songs about love and loss that I've ever heard. It's very dark, personal, and depressing music, and I love every bit of it.

Liz
Phair Liz Phair isn't one of the biggest names in music, but her fans are very devoted. Her songs are very honest. She is someone who definitely tells it like she sees it. She is seen by some as being a pottymouth, but I don't see it that way. She uses vulgar language freely, but it's not just for the sake of using it. There's a message being conveyed. How else would you say "Fuck and Run" without loosing the meaning?
It may be that her pottymouth has held her back. Many of her fans were upset when Alanis Morrisette garnered such a huge audience. They felt that Liz Phair's glory had been stolen by a cheap imitation. I happen to love Liz, but Alanis is also quite good, and personally I hope that there's room for two at the top.

U2 All right, just about everyone likes U2, so I won't waste a lot of time on this one. Good music, good lyrics, good message, perpetually cool. Nuff said.

Pearl
Jam I'm sorry to say it, but Pearl Jam has gotten pretty lame lately. They're still OK, but they used to be great. Each album is a step down from the level of the previous album. "Ten" was incredible, "Vs." way really good, "Vitalogy" was OK, and "No Code" is rather mediocre. Still, let's not dwell on the present, their past was most excellent. In fact, "Black" is my favorite song in the whole wide world. I play it endlessly, when I'm depressed.

Sheryl
Crow
Sheryl Crow is a total babe. My first interest in her was totally based on appearances. The music was OK, but she was gorgeous. As time goes by, I find myself more and more interested in the music. I can't say that any of it strikes an emotional chord with me, but it's good, entertaining stuff. Her second album is much better than the first. Unfortunately, her gorgeous look has been replaced by a strung-out, heroin-chic look. She's still attractive, but it just isn't the same. Before she was on a completely different level. Now, she's just another Hollywood bimbo. Bring back the old Sheryl, please. I loved the Sheryl with the beautiful hair and the most incredibly gorgeous lips the world has ever known.

Led
Zeppelin A lot of the groups listed here are included because of their lyrics. Zeppelin may have had some good lyrics, but for the most part that's not what has inspired me. It's the music. Led Zeppelin was possibly the best musical group ever. They were constantly innovative and exciting to listen to. Page and Plant today have hints of the greatness that was Zeppelin, but they still haven't been able to live up to the standards of their original collaborations in the 70's.
